Greening Production-Making Series (Online)

Greening Production-Making Online Series
The emissions output of a tour is to a large extent pre-determined by the decisions made at the beginning of the creative process. So, in 2025 AOT is partnering with Theatre Green Book Australia (TGBA) to present four, free 60-minute online sessions that focus on greening production-making every Monday 2-3pm from 24 March – 14 April.

Run by Grace Nye-Butler, the aim of this Series is to develop eco literacy skills and support directors, creatives and production departments to integrate emissions reduction strategies into their practices. It’s worth highlighting that the idea here is not to be in competition with an artistic vision, but for this vision to be supported by knowledge and awareness that allows for eco-informed decisions. The Series will feature guests along the way who are using the TGBA, to give specific examples of how it can be applied to production-making.

One of the inspirations for this Series was the popularity of the episodes in last year’s Green Touring Online Series that focused on production. These episodes featured makers Bryony Anderson and Tanja Beer, Production Manager Dana Spence, as well as Grace Nye-Butler and Chris Mercer giving an overview of TGBA. Replays of these conversations are available here.
